Mum let son, 12, do the Asda big shop and here's what he bought

Kelly Miller Richards said her son, Vinnie, is a budding young chef. She set him the challenge of buying the ingredients for, and making, five evening meals for the family. He had a budget of £50 to spend at Asda, but came back with quite a bit of change.
